The Foot and Lower Leg Instructional DVD

The Foot and Lower Leg DVD in this kit includes a detailed How-To section lead by Cassidy Phillips, founder of Trigger Point Technologies, that answers questions about pace, placement, breathing, posture, duration and much more. The DVD also includes a 20-minute Re-Gen Class, which is very similar to a yoga class in feel, that you can follow along with to make sure you are doing the manipulations as we suggest. The DVD will show you how we suggest you use the products in all of the areas mentioned below.

Biomechanical Education DVD

Our Foot and Lower Leg Biomechanical Education DVD takes you through all of our education we provide for people experiencing Foot and Lower Leg pain. The DVD will talk about what the body goes through on a daily basis and how it affects biomechanics. You will also find tips for success within this DVD to give you pointers on hydration, icing, stretching and other things we do or need to worry about daily. A sample of the education we cover in the DVD is below.

Day-to-day activity can take its toll on the body. Whether it's training for a triathlon, marathon, sporting event or just general work activities, your body and its biomechanics are continuously being compromised. The way you sit, stand, run, and drive affects the way your body will function through movement. Being that your foot is the foundation for your body, it's important that you massage the muscles that control the foot effectively and efficiently.

It's important to understand that your foot is a puppet to the muscles in the lower leg. The muscles surrounding the calf region all connect in the bottom of the foot, so when these muscles get tight they are going to pull from their insertion points and potentially cause injuries to occur.

According to the Journal of Bodywork and Movement therapies, Trigger Point and Myofacial Release Therapy can relieve muscular aches and pains in association with the areas discussed. They can also assist with the redevelopment of muscles and/or restore motion to the ankle joints.

Massage has also been found to be a great way to counteract the effects of poor biomechanics;

Myofascial release refers to the manual massage technique for stretching the fascia and releasing bonds between fascia, integument, and muscles with the goal of eliminating pain, increasing range of motion and equilibrioception. Myofascial release usually involves applying shear compression or tension in various directions, or by skin rolling. - wikipedia.org

Trigger Point Therapy:

Based on the discoveries of Dr. Janet Travell and Dr. David Simons, in which they found the causal relationship between chronic pain and its source, Myofascial Trigger Point therapy is used to relieve muscular pain and dysfunction through applied pressure to trigger points of referred pain and through stretching exercises. These points are defined as localized areas in which the muscle and connective tissue are highly sensitive to pain when compressed. Pressure on these points can send referred pain to other specific parts of the body.
